Mission Statement: To provide the quickest means to finding the relevant flood related info and point people via telephone numbers, web addresses and volunteer contacts to get the help to the people who need it, as well as show and explain succinctly to the outside world the help that is desperately needed from the Ottawa townspeople and surrounding severely flooded areas.
 
Obviously, a web page is of no help to a person without a computer or electricity. At the very bottom of each of these web pages, click on "Print View" and it will give you a very easy page to print out without the formatting, just the information. Please consider printing some or all of the web pages for a friend, relative, neighbor, flood victim and giving them a copy. What good are the services available to them if they don't even know they exist and have no way to contact them? Please consider posting this page on any bulletin board you know of.
